Meditation is not just for your peace of mind; studies indicate that those who meditate sleep better, have lower anxiety, and reduce the likelihood of disease; some practitioners have been able to improve their symptoms of migraines, insomnia, high blood pressure, and obesity. In this guide, two meditation experts explain how you can turn a quiet spot and a few minutes a day into significant health benefits. Philosopher and religious scholar David Dillard-Wright and physician Ravinder Jerath present posture and breathing techniques, creative visualization and imagery, and an overview of different cultural and religious approaches to meditation. The book includes exercises, mantra suggestions, and an audio CD of guided meditations.
